A triangle is made up of four pieces. Move the pieces around to make a new congruent triangle. Except the new triangle is missing one square unit! Where did it go?

A TI-Nspire activity. In this activity, students investigate the total cost of a private party at each of three restaurants. Each restaurant states its pricing information differently, but all charge a flat room fee (represented by the y-intercept) plus a per guest plate fee (represented by the slope). Students model the cost of a party at each restaurant with the graph of a linear function.

The World Clock website has continuously updated information about the world such as the world population, number of births, number of deaths, number of cars and the number of barrels of oil produced. It is a wonderful discussion starter for a number of maths topics including time series data and rates of change (gradient).

The World Clock is a one page flipchart that links to a website:

It continously updates information such as world population, births, deaths, number of cars produced, number of barrels of oil produced. A wonderful discussion starter for a number of maht topics including time series data and rates of change (regression).

This is an ActivBoard flipchart. Can you solve the case of the missing square? Hint: Use your knowledge of gradients to help you.
